Prairie Dogs

The three prairie dogs brought from the
West by Mr.. John B. Curtis are now in the
big rink at Peaks Island where they NAV

suffered no inconvenience by the change
from their under ground dwellings, with the
rattle snakes and owls for companions. on
the Western prairie, to the cage in which
they now live. They are remarkably tame
and scramble up the sides of the cage look
ing very much like squirrels with their
bushy tails cut off.

Kings WORTH REMEMBERING.

When you feel kind OF goneness about the
stomach il is a sign that your food does not sit
well and that you are about to have fit of indi
gestiou.
When you begin to feel nervous and are unable
to sit still comfortably, whenyour clothes sudden
ly seem to lose their fit and become too tight in
places the fit of indigestion is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated from
day to day it finally resolves itself into dyspepsia
Chronic dyspepsia will surely make the happiest
life he'll upon earth.
Remember that three TO ten Of BRANDRETH's
PILLS will cure the worst case of indigestion or
dyspepsia, or both, and that a regular course of
them saytwo every night for week or ten DAYS
will act as a preventive of either complaint.

THE CORRECT TIME.-There are very
few men who do not pride themselves
on always having the correct time; and
wonderful and delicate mechanisms are
devised to enable them to do so. But
the more delicate chronometer is
made the more subject it becomes to
arrangement, and unless it be kept al
ways perfectly clean it soon loses its
usefulness. What wonder, then, that
the human machine-so much more
delicate and intricate than any work
of man-should require to be kept
thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the
handspring of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood
by disordered liver depend most of
the ills that flesh is heir to. Even con-
sumption (Which is lung scrofula) is
traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases,
sick headache, heart disease, dropsy
and a long catalogue of grave maladies
have their origin in torpid or sluggish
liver. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, by establishing a healthy,
normal action of the liver, acts as a
cure and preventive of these diseases.

Strong Fertilizer.

From fifty years of experience l have
learned that it does not pay to spread
manure faster than it is plowed in.
Where it is hauled out and left to leach
and wash on frozen surface for
months it has no more beneficial re-
suits than muck, and the method can
only be compared to using the tea
grounds over again that were stepped
six months ago. Pack the manure in
a pile and dig ditch around it. Each
week dip into the pile any liquid that
may have escaped and mix the horse
and COW dung thoroughly together. In
this way eighty per cent of the manure's
strength can be realized.-K. Il, n,

Is MY Name Written There !

A few days ago l was conversing
with a friend. We were talking of
friend, and l thoughtlessly made this
remark: 81 wish some one would
write her life; it would be beautiful"
The friend looked at me a moment,
then said: d" Hourly Lena's life is be-
ing written. We may not know how
beautiful her life really is until we hear
it up there" said she, pointing heaven
ward. "The recording angel" she
continued, 81 is not only writing Lena's
life, but he is writing yours and mine"
Children, do you think, when you are
tempted to do wrong, that the record
ing angel sees all and is keeping a
record of all you do or say?
Daily are two angels writing
What we do for good or i'll
One with smiles, the good inditing,
one the evil sad and still"
Yes, every evil deed is recorded in
heaven, and he who knoweth all things
sees every bad deed, knows every
wicked thought that passes through the
mind, but the same Father sees and
knows every good deed and thought.
And yet with him who marks the sands,
And holds the water in his hands
know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name
% az ms thinking soul has thonght'
or all this mortal part has wrought,
And from these heeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame"
The late John b. Coughs last words
were, " Young man, keep your record
clean" Let us try to keep our record
clean and pure before the world.-Sonl-

No Preacher Need Apply.

The following private letter was
handed us by Wells, Richardson e. Co.,
with permission to use it. While it
points out some of the advantages and
some of the possibilities and resources
of the South, it also presents in a tell
ing way some of its drawbacks under
its present condition. To one who has
seen the colored man at home in the
South the picture is perfectly familiar
The careless, lazy, contented, thriftless
darkey stands out in clear perspective.
When thrift and white labor are ac-
climated in the South that country will
see general prosperity it has never
dreamed of. The letter is written from
Oakland Plantation, near Huntsville,
Alabama, under date of September Sth,
and is as follows:
Wells, Richardson 6 Co.. Gentlemen-I
have your letter respecting the butter color.
] am not a leading dairyman and hardly a
dairyman in any degree, for we keep only a
few Jersey cows for our own use, selling or
giving away any surplus of butter. This
place is admirably adapted for dairying.
We have five hundred acres of red clay
loam which makes the best orchard-grass
and clover, with the Flint river Ga tributary
of the Tennessee) and never-failing spring
branch, springs, wells etc, but our free
negro labor don't suit dairy. My cows are
MIXED once in awhile a little after sunrise,
and oftener from one to two hours later.
Sometimes the cows are turned into the pas
ture at night; but if am not expected to be
around they are shut up in the yard. My
millmaid " is a six-foot mulatto man, who
is also a preacher. He is off now at a
church convention, and the cows are MIXED
(may be- by negro boy, who milks with
one hand and takes an hour to the COW.
Can't you send me a white man competent
to run a large dairy with his own family
force) and to market the produce? Butter
and hogs pay well, if well managed, and |
would give good man good lay on shares
He can have all the cows and all the land
he wants. | would like to stock the place
with cattle and hogs. Birmingham is only
one hundred miles from us, and there will
soon be direct railroad communication.
Please hand this note and the enclosure to
some good fellow who wants to get along
and who is not preacher. | thank you for
your butter color but it is fact that the
Huntsville people cannot believe that we
do not use it now in the winter time, for on
our orchard-grass pastures, which last the
whole year, our winter butter is rs yellow
as old Guinea gold. Very respectfully,
THOMAS GEORGE.

Farming not Fully Credited.

Not one farmer in thousand gives
his farm full credit. Take, for instance,
the matter of income. Quite frequently
you will hear farmer say: " My cousin
gets salary of 81 800 a year. He
keeps the books of Pig Iron & Co. If
| had such an income as that | would
get rich;' or, 4" the salary of our
county treasurer is 81, 900 per year. 1t
is too much. He doesn't work as hard
as / do, and yet he gets four times as
much" And yet the farmer, who
thinks he has an income equal to
only one-fourth the income of the
county treasurer, has really an income
larger. He has not credited his farm
with the use of the dwelling-house;
with vegetables, fruits, grains and
meats produced on the farm and con-
sumed by the family; with the use of
horse and carriage; with milk, butter
and eggs, and a dozen other consider
able items, never forgotten by the city
man, because they always cost him
money, butnot credited to the farm, be-
cause the farm produces them. True,
the book-keeper or public official gets
$4,000 per year. One-fourth of this
must be paid for house no better than
the one you live in; another fourth must
60 for the vegetables, fruits, grains,
meats, butter, eggs and milk you have
used but not credited to the farm that
produced them. A horse and carriage
such as you have will cost the city man
at least $500 more. Other items will
consume well-nigh the remaining 5000.
If you had his income you would not
grow rich near as fast as you think. l
am often reminded of the remark of a
neighbor of mine who moved to the
city. After he had lived in the city a
year, he said to me: Z" "A man living in
the city can't turn around without pay
ing for it. When l was on the farm
quite often didn't pay out cent of
money in week; now l have to pay
out money every day. l don't live so
well now as did on the farm, yet l am
saving less money" OF every hundred
farmers who go to the city fully ninety
nine have a similar experience. 1t is
safe to say that after living in the city
for two years they would give the farm
credit for twice or thrice as much as
they did before. Like other blessings
the farm is not fully appreciated while
it is in possession. - Ne,c England

plows at Worcester, Mass, at the New
England fair. The Mccormick Com
pany of Chicago showed their new
square, steel-pipe harvester, five-feet
cut, Irvine self binder, which is claimed
to be the simplest binder made, as it has
only four pieces. 1t has a wide trac-
tion-wheel, floating elevator, which
will receive large amount of grain
without clogging, and spring platform,
which keeps the same tension on the
canvas at all times. 1t was never
shown at Vermont state fair before.
DAIRY IMPLEMENTS.
In dairy implements the Mosely e.
Stoddard Manufacturing Company
showed their cabinet creameries, to
which they have added a new, novel
and effective way of skimming, which
takes off the cream from the top, and
not, as has been formerly done in deep
setting cans, by drawing the milk first
from under the cream. They also
showed their well-known barrel churns.
The Vermont Farm Machine Company
showed line of their dairy goods and
their sap evaporator, but nothing new
was discovered. ID. b. Wooster showed
his cabinet creamery and new churn,
both oscillating and fitting, quite easy
of operation. The Union lndurated
Fiber Company of New York showed
samples of their wares for the
first time. The material is a wood
fiber made by grinding the wood. From
this pulp dishes of various kinds-wash-
basins, pals, wash-tubs, slop-jars and
the like-are nodded under very heavy
pressure. The articles are then soaked
with a chemical, the composition of
which is a secret. They are then
dipped in liquid glazing and baked in
an oven of about three hundred de-
grees of heat. When finished they are
impervious to moisture, hot or cold,
mild acids or alkalies, or like liquids,
kerosene or other oils, and will impart
neither taste nor flavor to anything
Seamless, light, strong and durable are
the other strong points.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. ID. n. Nicholson made the finest
display of furs and fur goods-coats
for gentlemen, sacques for ladies, robes,
muffs, etc.-which we ever saw, and
which we believe cannot be euualed in
any country store in New England or
in cities double the size of Burlington
He manufactures his own goods, and
his large exhibit by no means ex-
hausted the goods in his store, as we
can testify from personal observation.
The hall was we'll filled with handsome
exhibits of woman's handiwork, and
the fair must be reckoned success as
an exhibit, and will probably prove a
success financially.

Corrections.

In the reports of Mad River Valley
and Waterbury fairs the first premium
on two-year-old colts was credited to
the wrong man. 1t was awarded to a
colt sired by Abraham and owned by
James Smith of Duxbury. Reporters
and editors are liable to mistakes, and
often have to shoulder and bear the
mistakes of others. But we are al
ways ready to make correction, whether
the fault be ours or not.
